Hi all,
I’m going through a tough time with my ex was separated from my ex for two years now I recently got remarried in February and since then there has been issues. We agreed a minute of agreement of where I was seeing my daughter one week two nights and second weeks 4nights a week. Since I’ve been remarried, she’s been making my life difficult and has reported me for domestic abuse for supposedly swearing at her. These are all false allegations. She has refused me to see my daughter for six months and states you through lawyers that she will only allow me supervised contact I have spent thousands of pounds on lawyers trying to get a resolution however unsuccessful.
she gets legal aid, but I don’t my question is how long does the supervised process take from the application to me? Actually seeing my daughter? Is there any advice anyone can give me or has been in a similar position as it feels like the law is always on the Mother side, thank you
hi,
sorry to hear about your situation. of you apply to court, your 1st hearing will likely be in 2-3 months time. as your ex will likely drag the case out with allegations, you might be able to have supervised contact with child, if social services (Cafcass) agree to it. simple cases may be over in 6 months or so, but it's become common to take 12 months or more to conclude.
I think with right guidance you can seld represent, instead of continuing to spend thousands on lawyers. feel fee to get in touch if you need support. sending you private message.
